With the new signings and young players, I think that's the advantage of also having a new head coach,” says Ballerin of new manager Unai Emery. “He's someone that's open to every single player to see what everyone can bring to the table and then make the decisions after, especially young players have a massive chance to prove themselves while players have been at the World Cup or players that are still on holiday.”

Petr Cech also mentioned that the premier league club is looking forward to their time in Singapore.
